Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.

To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):

1.Press MENU and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.

2.Press to highlight Aspect Ratio.

3.Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

2.Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit

within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could

adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase

the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after

 

making these adjustments.

3.4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

4.16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
